Tyre puncture repair
« on: 24 September 2010, 08:02:09 »
Noticed a screw in one of the rear tyres of the van the day I got it, pain as the tyres have only been on there a few hundred miles. Where is the best place to get the puncture repaired?

I just use the nearest tyre place (that I can trust not to try and sell me 4 new tyres, so not kwik-fitup)

I trusted independent.

I had one repaired at a trusted independent around 3 weeks ago, cost 16 pounds, I had another done at Central tyres around 9 months ago, 35 quid!

I think £16 is expensive let alone £35  :o Could possibly go to kwik fit up and supervise them as I don't trust them with anything, they can't really try a flog me new tyres, all are recently on :y

See I would wait until next week, when I get the lowering springs fitted, as it'll be having a 4 wheel alignment then too, but it keeps going down now  :-/

If it's stuck, force it.  If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway........

I paid £14.95 yesterday for a rear on the Rover.

They wouldn't do the front puncture though, claiming the tyres were already illegal. Measured tyre depth when I got home, 3mm all over.

Tyreweb on Orbital Park Del.  They have two units, one next to McDonalds and here:

 :y :y

They are first class and have used them for around 8 years now.  They will repair if legal to do so, which means the hole needs to be a certain distance away from the shoulder of the tyre.  They do a good repair ;) ;)

As long as its not in the side wall of the tyre they should be able to fix it.

Last time I had it done was about 5 years ago, but I think then it was about £10, but could be wrong! ::) ::)
